The CLASS customer service phone team receives a steady stream of requests for help and guidance. For example, some of the most common questions that families ask are...

We are busy planning this great event for June 14th here in Arlington Heights. We look forward to seeing you and many other CLASS families from around the country! By the end of January, we will send information to those who have completed at least one quarter with us as 8th or 12th graders. |

How much time you spend doing course work will depend on how quickly you want to get through the material and how long it takes your student(s) to do the work. If you are trying to complete the grade level in 6 months rather than 12 months, you will obviously spend more time each day. If you have only one student, your school day will generally be shorter than if you have several students. Many parents tell us that, when the goal is to finish in 9 months (typical), it takes three or four hours per day for younger students, and more for older students. One student may have to spend more time in a particular subject than another student. Keep in mind also the age and maturity of your students. Younger children have shorter attention spans, and may be best served by breaking up the day. If one subject is a struggle, try breaking it into smaller pieces and working at it a little at a time throughout the day. On the other hand, sometimes a child just needs to forge ahead and get it done. You have to determine whether the child really doesn’t understand the material, or is just being lazy or rebellious.
Remember, your daily schedule is up to you. You have four full quarters to complete a grade level, and extension quarters are available. With home schooling, you can easily catch up on weekends or work into the summer if needed. The time it takes to learn is less important than making sure learning is taking place. |
